Hello, I want to reserve a room:
marhaba badde ehjouz 2ooda.
I know e7jouz is difficult. Just repeat it and practice it and step by step you will learn it.
And till you learn it, and till you get to know how to say it, you could say ehjouz, it’s not great, but it’s ok, we will understand.
So e7jouz is the best word, ehjouz is not great but it’s ok.
Baddeh e7jouz 2ooda.
I want it for one week: baddeh yeha la jem3a
I want: baddeh.
It means yeha.
And yeha because room in Arabic is a feminine word, we say yeha.
If it was a masculine word you would say yeh.
So yeh for a masculine word,
yeha for a feminine word.
baddeh yeha.
For one week: la jem3a.
baddeh yeha la jem3a.
